Typically the first 10 to 15 minutes with my students are spent identifying their stylistic needs and planning a technical strategy around those needs. My teaching preference is to establish fundamental coordinations using direct cause-and-effect terms (instead of vague concepts like "placement" or "support") so the student becomes aware of every muscle that contributes to healthy singing. Once the student acquires familiarity and control over certain elements of their voice, we apply the concepts to songs.
Professional singers and celebrities to casual learners.
When I first started taking voice lessons at age 17, I wasted so much time and money on teachers that claimed to know how the voice works, but really didn't.
$20,000 of private training from multiple high profile voice teachers and countless hours of in-depth research have led me to the following conclusions:
Always try to find someone who can explain exactly what they're trying to improve in your voice. If they just have you do the same exercises over and over and only tell you how good you're sounding on songs, then it may be time to find another teacher. A good teacher should leave you with no questions on how the voice works. Also, if you go a few months with no progress and you have been practicing their concepts consistently, it is time to change teachers.
Recently helped prepare Brian Littrell (Backstreet Boys) for the Backstreet Boys Vegas tour.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What songs do I want to be able to sing?
What artists do I like?
What is the one biggest thing I want to be able to do with my voice?
